Good honor for him. Expect big things from him in the future.

What an honor, and if our opponents felt he had potential then he does. To be honest, I hardly knew he was on the field, but I dont watch the line like I should to be knowledgeable of everything going on. I suspect most of the old linemen do and have noted Woody's accompolishments.

The first time I noticed Woody start a game was against McNeese. On the first offensive play his guy went right past him and had the sack against Berry that caused the fumble. For the next few series they had tight ends and backs chipping on the guy to help Woody out but by the end of the game he was on his own again.

Its great that he has caught the attention of the conference coaches. It would be nice to have that dominant O-Line that we've all become accustomed to and it looks like Woody could be a big part of that.
